GM Mauve - PFS 1e Module: The Godsmouth Heresy (Inactive)

Game Master MauveAvengr

Aatish moves forward and strikes the undead with her scimitar!

red. Cold Iron Scimitar: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 161d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Tavon enters the room and shoots with his water blast the Blue one.

water blast - B. and magic - Precise Shot: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 5 = 7

Grelthe will step up between the baddies and attempt to make herself a target by swinging at the skeleton (red) with her Morningstar.

Morningstar attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 *whiff*
Morningstar damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Tavon seems determined to blast the bluish zombie. Direct hit! But it seems the flesh absorbs some of the blow (possibly some sort of DR)

Aatish comes dancing in with her scimitar. She believes that it would hit normally, but the bones of the skeleton are too hard to break through!

And poor Grelthe. Can't seem to do anything to the skeleton either. The bones must be reinforced!

==============

Round 2

Andros
Roomba

Zombie (blue) (-3 HP)
Skeleton (red)

Tavon
Aatish
Grelthe
Rachel

Andros and Roomba are up!

Roomba steps in flanking position and tries to attack red.

alchemical silver light hammer, flank: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 = 9
silver bludgeoning dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 2

On her turn: Rachel tries to attack blue again.

+2 str mwk darkwood composite longbow, pbs: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 = 26
cold iron, piercing, pbs: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 = 11

Andros swings his morningstar at the blue tinged zombie.

attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 91d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

...and misses

Roomba repositions herself, ready to stab the skeleton. She pokes at it with her hammer, but her strikes just hit the air between the ribs.

Similarly, Andros just can't seem to do anything to the zombie. Must be the tough skin!

The zombie looks up at 1d2 ⇒ 2 the heavily armored Grelthe. With a look of surprise, it holds up his hand and slams it down on the paladin. She hears a *snap* as bones break in its hand but she feels absolutely nothing on her end!

The skeleton attempts to parry Roomba with its scimitar! But the weapon is old and Roomba can quickly dodge out of the way of its attack. But surprise! The skeleton swipes with its left hand. Roomba sees it and dodges it too!

Then Rachel moves in and nocks another arrow. She pulls back her string and lets the arrow fly. Direct hit! Chucks of zombie flesh fly off, but doesn't seem to be as effective (possible DR)

==============

Round 2

Andros
Roomba

Zombie (blue) (-9 HP)
Skeleton (red)

Tavon
Aatish
Grelthe
Rachel

Tavon, Aatish, and Grelthe are up!

Grelthe grunts, sees the fleshy zombie is looking a bit worse for the wear, but knows her bashing weapon is more likely to do damage to a skeleton than a zombie, so she will reposition her grip with both hands and try again.

Morningstar 2-h attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 *whiff*
She curses in Skald.

Aatish strikes the undead with her scimitar!

red. Cold Iron Scimitar: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 111d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

“What are these things? What’s that green light?!?“

Tavon shoot the red.

water blast - B. and magic - Precise Shot: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 5 = 9

Wow, everyone is rolling terribly!

Maybe it's something in this room, but it's hard to do anything to these undead!

==============

Round 3

Andros
Roomba

Zombie (blue) (-9 HP)
Skeleton (red)

Tavon
Aatish
Grelthe
Rachel

Andros and Roomba are up!

Roomba tries to attack red.

alchemical silver light hammer, flank: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6
silver bludgeoning dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Rachel tries to attack blue.

+2 str mwk darkwood composite longbow, pbs: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12
cold iron, piercing, pbs: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7

Andros continues to swing away at the zombie.

attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 191d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

For some reason, the Pathfinders just can't hit the undead! That is, until Andros comes up. He swings and hits the zombie hard! But the soft zombie flesh absorbs the blow (DR of some kind possibly?).

Then the zombie turns to Andros and slams down his broken hand. It stuns the cleric, hurting him quite a lot! 8 points of damage.

The skeleton on the other hand is hilarious in its attempt to fight Roomba. Rachel giggles a bit as she watches. The skeleton is so incompetent!

=============

Round 3

Andros (4/12 HP)
Roomba

Zombie (blue) (-9 HP)
Skeleton (red)

Tavon
Aatish
Grelthe
Rachel

Andros and Roomba are up!

Again, Aatish strikes the undead with her scimitar!

red. Cold Iron Scimitar: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 211d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Grelthe is getting frustrated trying to swing at the skeleton, but so far it hasn't hurt anyone, so she will switch to the zombie and switch to her...
weapon: 1d2 ⇒ 1
...longsword to aim at the zombie. (She doesn't know what type of damage will get through his DR, but knows it's probably not bludgeoning.)

Longsword 2-h attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Longsword 2-h damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

i forgot to mention i'm using a morningstar...in case that matters

Grelthe realizes that bludgeoning weapons and piercing weapons aren't very effective versus the zombie, seeing both Andros and Rachel's weapons do very little. So she switches to a different type: a slashing weapon. She swoops in and swings her sword! Very effective! The zombie goes down.

What's happening to the other undead? Aatish keeps swinging her scimitar and knocks some bones off, but probably not as effective as it could be.

=============

Round 3

Andros (4/12 HP)
Roomba

Zombie (blue)
Skeleton (red) (-1 HP)

Tavon
Aatish
Grelthe
Rachel

Tavon is up followed by Andros and Roomba

Grelthe roars in triumph at FINALLY hitting something!

Roomba attacks red.

alchemical silver light hammer, flank: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6
silver bludgeoning dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Rachel shoots red.

+2 str mwk darkwood composite longbow, pbs: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 = 11
cold iron, piercing, pbs: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Blades it is, then! Andros says as he drops his morning star and draws his scimitar. He lashes out with it.

attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 91d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Tavon shoots water in red.

water blast - B. and magic - Precise Shot: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 5 = 7
crit: 1d6 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 5 = 10

And Tavon blasts the skeleton! Bones shatter all over, covering Aatish in bone dust.

Combat is over!

The Pathfinders search the bodies, but don't really find anything informative. Whatever the glowing green light was, it has faded. But it did feel alchemical in nature.

There is also a wooden door to the south.

Andros activates his wand on himself.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Good work...those eerie green lights must have been some sort of alchemical enchantment of some sort...similar to what an alchemist uses for their mixes...

perc: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Hmm...must be defective... Andros says as he activates the wand again.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8good thing this was bought with PP...

Grelthe has no experience with this "alchemical" stuff and it makes her wary.
perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18 Hey it coulda been a 20, lol

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Do you guys head through the door or head up north?

Tavon opens the door on the south.

Tavon moves towards the door. He hears a *twang* then a *thwap* as an arrow jams itself into his behind. Tavon takes 4 points of damage. Turning around, Tavon sees a small hole where the arrow came out of - likely a trap that triggered right when he opened the door. Inspecting this 'trap' reveals that one has to manually insert the arrow to reset it. So as long as no one re-inserts the arrow, the trap wont trigger again.

Opening the door further, Tavon sees... something blocking it. Seems like a tapestry or thick draperies. Moving it aside, Tavon finds an undisturbed thick layer of dust that carpets the floor. A stone door to the west is one solid featureless piece except for a strangely shaped depression in the middle.

Another set of stone double doors are in the southeast corner of the room.

Grelthe moves into the tapestried room, and inspects the depression in the west door. Can I tell what type of shape it is at all?
perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10 perfectly average

It's strangely shaped. Kind of rectangular, kind of trapezoidal, kind of circular. It's hard to tell.

Tavon looks closer.

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

"In another room is a non-magical rune that was shaped in the exact pattern of the depression. "

IIRC, none of you took the rune when you left. You can either head back there to pick it up, figure out another way to open the door, or move on somewhere else.

Well, let's go find it... Andros says as he proceeds to turn around and find it...[/b]

The room where you found the rune that looked in the exact pattern of the depression was in the most northwestern room on the opposite side of the complex. Put a red heart in the room just for your info.

Andros suggests heading back to the room on the other side of the temple.

Roomba scouts out the north passage in the meantime, saying "I shall stand guard for thee while you inspect this rune and discuss the way forward."

She then steps around the corner, walk a few steps, and stops before the next turn, peering north.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Who is going with Andros to retrieve the rune and who is staying with Roomba? It'll be able 15-20 minutes or so to head to the northwest room to pick up the rune.

To be clear, we should keep the party together. Roomba's placement is just for the present situation. She will rejoin the group if they backtrack to the northwest. I both played and GMed this before, so I am staying nice and quiet! :)

Grelthe is a fan of staying together as well, even if it means backtracking.

Andros makes a mark on the wall so they don't become lost...

Keep an eye out...we don't want to dilly dally long...never want to be delayed...

The Pathfinders decide to backtrack to pick up the rune that may fit into the hole.

They pass through the secret door past the skeleton bones lying on the ground. Heading north, they see the pile of corpses where they fought the crawling hands. Further north, the silent and ominous pillar stands tall with the corpses of the two festrogs starting to reek. Then they head west. Past the bottomless pit. Taking a left before the intricate stone door in the most northwestern part of the temple. Then they arrive back at the room where they fought the rune guardians. 1d5 ⇒ 5 Tavon picks up the small rune and puts it in his pouch.

There are other unexplored rooms up here. Do you want to explore them or head back to where you were?

Head back where we were please.

Roomba suggests heading right back to where they were. Once back, she takes a brief glance to the northern hallway. She pokes her head around the corner, spying a small corridor to the east and a room directly ahead. Then she quickly rejoins the others.

Tavon inserts the rune into the depression between the two doors. Suddenly, the stone changes to a rippling mass of flesh. Moments later, a bloody wound opens in the middle of the fleshy mass as the doors pull themselves apart to allow egress into the neighboring room. It automatically opens up for anyone waiting in front of it.

Peering in, a large statue stands in the corner of the L-shaped room, depicting a tall feather emblazoned with a large open eye. Though apparently carved from stone, the statue gleams with a golden-green iridescence.
